Prozac Monologues

was the first of three books on depression. It was the comedy, to be followed by the tragedy, Deep Calling, to be followed by the fairy tale, The Last Demon. Prozac Monologues' original topic was Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), because that is what I thought I had.

Turns out it wasn't as simple as all that. So I began to read research on depression, antidepressants, treatment, the brain... What I learned outpaced my capacity to revise.

So now Prozac Monologues has become the blog where I share what I am learning. The namesake retains the Coen Brothers humor of the original, whenever I can pull it off. The blog evolves as my understanding of the categories and interests expand.

My own story is incidental to Prozac Monologues. Here you will find my reflections and research on the mind, the brain, depression/mood disorders and society/culture/language. I am pleased that the blog has occasionally become a conversation. Make liberal use of comments, please!
